BROWNSVILLE, Wash. \u2014 The\u00a0Coast Guard\u00a0and\u00a0Navy\u00a0bomb technicians have detonated what they said appeared to be an unidentified mine floating in Puget Sound between Brownsville Marina and Bainbridge Island.<\/p>\n

The Kitsap Sun reports a Coast Guard spokeswoman said the object was reported at about 2 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Navy says initial inspection of the moored mine showed it had decades of marine growth. At about 5 p.m., Navy divers secured a long line to the device and began towing it with a small boat. By 8:15 p.m., officials said it had been detonated without incident.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Authorities had asked residents along the waterfront to stay inside and away from beaches as a precaution.<\/p>\n

Photos submitted by Kitsap Sun readers showed a round, rusted object with rods protruding from it.<\/p>\n
